Why did you dye it darker? My hair is naturally dark but I wish I had brown or blond hair so it would look thicker because there would be less contrast between the hair and my scalp which is white. That was one of the challenges getting a HT with full density.

Second surgery: 9 months results. Photos taken today

I disagree. If she has white scalp, coloring the hair will make it look even thinner because it would show the contrast between dark hair and white scalp,

I'm visiting the clinic in few days to take photos. I will ask Doug to post the photos here. The photos taken by clinic might be more accurate.

Wrong. The area below the scar is already thin

Actually it might be your native hair In male pattern balding, hair follicles actually shrink; they don't disappear. The hairs are essentially microscopic on the bald part of the scalp compared to other spots. Going Bald? Hair Follicles Are Still There, Just Shrinking - Medical News Today

You need to flip over in the middle of procedure, Because you have to lay on your stomach during donor extraction and crown work (not the most confortable position).

Why did you need that ? I had my wisdom teeth extracted under local anesthesia. It.took only 5 mns and all you feel is just the pressure of the dentist tools. Also you will feel more pain after waking up ( dizziness) than just being patient during those 5 mns.

The temple peaks are the triangles pointing to your eyebrows. Someone with receded temple peaks like me will have a straight line. It didn't bother me much as I needed more grafts to add more density to the crown.

Dr Wong told me he wouldn't do the temple corners without the temporal peaks ( triangles). He said I will look funny having temple corners filled up but without temporal peaks (straight line).

I paid a lot of money to a local doctor for my first surgery here in Canada almost the same as what top clinics charge and got very poor results. I would have saved money by traveling to third world country and probably got better results

During my surgery, I heard the doctor giving directions to technicians "put singles here" , "put larger grafts in mid-scalp". So the doctor is also responsible of supervising the technicians work

I asked a techinician this question when she was implanting the grafts and she told me that directions/angle are determined by the incisions that the doctor makes. So this is not the job of technicians
